Tho Republican party is not perfect;
the leaders do not always have the best
interests Of the people in view, but the
masses are intelligent patriotic and
honest, and if not mislead, viii do the
wisest and best thing in an emergency.
In the near future there are great pOlit-
ical problems to be solved in this coun-
try, monopolies are to be curbed, rail-
roads to be governed strictly by law,
differences between capital and labor
satisfactorily adjusted, the rights of
suffrage extended, and other questions
Of greater or lesser importance settled.
Are not the Republicans as likely 70
take up these great questions and solve
them satisfactorily as men of any other
political faithP The HERALD believes
they are. The Republican party has
been a progressive party in the past
and it contains within its ranks millions
Of the best and most progressive men
in the country, and if its leaders do not
move forward, the rank and file will,
and ought to, brush them aside. We
believe that at the proper time and in
the proper way, the Republicans will
take up and solve the problems now
pressing for solution. Great parties
move slowly and it is we'll that they do,
for they deal with questions which eff
feet not only nations but the whole race
Of mankind. Let Republicans be pa
tient. The party may go forward slow
ly but it goes. Political parties are
made up Of people, and are no better
nor worse than the people who COM
pose them. We have to take men as
We find them. A nation cannot be edu-
Gated out Of errors and into new truths
in a day. Reforms will come, wrongs
win be righted and progress be made
as rapidly as the people are ready for
them. Let US not be Content to rest
upon the laurels won in the past, but
let as divest ourselves of all prejudice,
and by earnest thinking, by persistent
investigation, prepare ourselves to act
intelligently and wisely on the great
political questions of the future.

VIII AK Congress for an Increase OF
Their Pay.
The watch forces OF the several depart
ments have a complaint to submit Co tn
flitieth Congress for consideration, and arr
somewhat anxiously awaiting the approvr
Of the members of the Cabinet In each d.
partment OF the government, to whom pet
tions have been submitted. In an elabOrat
array Of statistics and maze of figures, 81
watchmen show that they are really u
most poorly paid employees In the COVER
ment service. The calculation is made
the basis OF actual service rendered to h
government as compared with the amour
Of work done by other employees. IL
watch force works every day In the yea
including Sundays and holidays IT,
messengers and laborers In all Of the d.
partments have no labor to perform on daS
on which the departments are closed, bu
this rule cannot and does not apply to th,
watchmen.
The responsibility, particularly In the
Treasury Department, 1t is claimed by the
watchmen, 10 greater than that Of any fore,
except the heads Of bureaus. Several OF
the watch force are also compelled to dc
more or less clerical work Ia connection
with their regular duties on the watch,
In view OF all these facts the " itcn force
asks Congress to grant them an increase OF
salary commensurate with the labor per
formed and The responsibilities undertaken
The privates ask for an increase from S72t
to 5000; lieutenants, 5000 to $1,000, anu
captains from 81, 200 to 81 800. The watch
force ranks above messengers, but are paid

THE RAILROAD REPLIES.
Tho Eastern Branch Bridge Should II
Located El.ewhere.

boOhttu bfeWueEfs
The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company, through their attorney, Col.
Enoch Totten, yesterday put In their an-
swer to the petition of the United States to
epjoin them from interfering with the
work on the Eastern branch bridge.
After admitting the correctness Of the
complaint in several respects the answer
denies that there is now, or ever was,
"circlen at that point, and says the waters
OF the Eastern branch at the time the limits
OF the city were defined and plan adopted,
and also when the railroad embankmeut
was constructed, cut the supposed ''circle"
at the eastern side little below or nearly
opposite to the center, and then extended,
by an irregular line, In anortherly direction
and cut the northern circumference far
above the center. The defendant states, on
information and belief, that complete
circle Is not shown on any authorized map
Of the city. II is submitted as matter OF
law that the foot Of Pennsylvania avenue is
at the western circumference Of said circle,
and at all events the avenue cannot extend
beyond the center OF the circle II completed.
At the junction Of Pennsylvania avenue
with the shore the bank Is about thirty feet
above the water, and the banks are rough,
uneven, and precipitous. For o long time
waters extended from north to south, be
tween the banks Of the Eastern branch aud
the embankment beyond the junction with
Pennsylvania avenue extended and beyond
the supposed circle down or nearly to south
l. street.
The defendants claim that since the con-
struction Of the railroad large quantities Of
earth have washed into the space, and large
quantities Of earth, in the last five or ak
years, have been conveyed there by tht
District commissioners and thrown down
over the foot Of Pennsylvania avenue to tht
segment OF the circle at that point, and tn,
earth has nearly filed up the space, so thai
the water is prevented from flowing bevond
the segment OF the circle. On the northern
side there Is an iUlet or recess formed by q
natural stream, the bed Of which was then
| ana now is more or less filed with water
The defendant says 1t is not true that Il
occupies any portion Of the ground wlthou
| authority, and AYERS that It's lines hav,
| been brought into the city In strict az
| coTdapce with the statute.
The company claims that there is NJ
| reasonable excuse, so far as the practlca
location and construction OF the bridge |.
concerned, for placing the western abut
ment so near the railroad tracks. There Il
| plenty OF room between the natural bank
| Of the Eastern branch at that point and tht
outside limits Of defendants right Of way
for the location OF the abutment.
| Accompany ing the answer are number
OF affldavlts Ia support Of 1t, aud a map Of
the locality In dispute.

PROPOSING TO INVESTIGATE
The Charges of Falso Imprisonment of
Two Americans In Mexico.

The Charges of Falso Imprisonment of
Two Americans In Mexico.
The New Orleans Times Democrat OF the
10th of August last published a dispatch
dated the day before at Laredo, Texas,
several bloods were getting intoxicated at
the Bustamente station, on the line of the
Mexican National railway, in company with
p. Doyle and j. Sanders, United States
citizens; that in the disorder caused by theil
drunken state one Of them whose name IL
not mentioned fired and killed an employe
or officer Of the city without saying, how
ever, whether the shot was accidental OF
pot), adding that the two Americans were
arrested and put In jail, In spite OF the fact
that they were not armed ut the time OF
their apprehension, and that up to the date
Of said telegram they had not been able to
obtain any justice whatever.
The Mexican legation In this city having
transmitted the contents of said message to
the Mexican government for the purpose OF
investigating the case and Of taking the
proper measures, report from the governor
Of the state OF Nueva Leon has Just been
received, from which 1t appears that on the
7th Of said August group OF persons was
seen, at 5 o'clock In the morning, coming
out,,Of place Of amusement at Bustamente,
some of them In a drunken condition; tina,
several shots were fired by them, one OF
which killed Jesus Maria Flores. A map
who was suspected OF being the murderer
was consequently arrested and his revolver
taken from him; his name was p. IL Co,l
and he alleged TO be United States citizen;
on his examination he confessed to having
fired the pistol shot On the 9th he was
properly committed to jail, the clrcumstan
tial evidence being against him; on the lit
he was, however, set free on bail, the evi.
dence not being sufficient to hold him am
longer; other persons were arrested for the
same event, although j. Sanders was not o!
that number. Coyl was examined within
he time prescribed by law and the judicis'
proceedings held in his case were donr
with due circumspection and 10 conformity
with the legislation Of the state of Nuevo
Leon.
